Overall, Verdugo Mesa has been a great place to live but...
Just prior to the pandemic the family owned complex was sold to the basically faceless Apartment Management Consultants LLC. It really feels like whatever plans they had for updates or upgrades took a backseat to recouping lost costs due to Covid. It still feels quiet and secluded just like the sign says, they allow pets, and management is pretty hands off, so that's nice. It feels very safe and the location truly is ideal.
But:
- We've been promised new laundry room machines for over a year and they constantly break down with no update/signage/maintenance log for us to know if they're working again or not.
- Landscaping is a mixed bag of leaf blowers blowing all the dust and debris into your carports with withering plants in the back, but nice out front.
- One recycle bin for about 12 units.
- A lot of units have been left in a half painted state from before the sale and overall maintenance is spread thin between different properties.
- Website has completely inaccurate floor plans
- As a long time tenant you'll start to see all the little things that get overlooked. If you're a new tenant, sorry about the rent.
